DELEGATE MA1LEY.s BILL.

The bill recently introduced in
Congress by Delegate HALEY, hay
ing for its object the destruction
of MormOnism in this territory,
should be promptly passed. The
bill prohibits any polygamist from
pre-empting the public lands; from
voting or holding office, and i'm
poses very heavy penalties for
any violation of the proposed law.
The Tucker anti-Mormon bill re-
fers more particularly to Utah, and
Idaho, in common with other terri
tories, should be given the proper
means to exterminate polygamy
and its supporters from its bounda-
ries. The Mormon Church organ
roundly abuses Delegate Haley
for introducing such bill. Those
who were blindly led to believe that
Mr.. HALEY was in sympathy with
the Mormons and their polygamous
faith will doubtless say his actions
now are all pretense, but they have
been sufficient to cause the saints
to be seriously alarmed. 1t would
be a compliment to our retiring
delegate for congress to take up his
bill and pass it this session. With
such law in force Idaho would be
forever free from the baneful infu-
ence of the Mormon Church. The
test oath law of the territory secures
such freedom in a great measure,
but the bill of Delegate HALEY goes
a great deal further, and will,
should it become a law, be an eff
fectual bar to the coming of any
Mormons to this territory from
Utah when the screws of the Tuck
er bill begin to be turned in that
locality.

THE DIVISION SCHEME.

The delegation from Alturas
county in the legislature has 4
plain duty to perform. It is no
longer a matter Of rumor that an
effort is to be made to divide Altu-
ras county, but q fact. Those who
are interested in the scheme are on
the ground working night and day
to secure a division of the county.
Prominent among these parties is
Mr.. Miller, a partner of Councilman
Helfrich, and Jake Reeser of Rocky
Bar, both of whom, it is reported,
will use money to secure the pass
age of the bill. 1t will not be suf-
ficient for the Alturas delegation to
wait until the bill is brought up
and then under their solemn
pledge to the people simply vote
against it; but it is imperative
that hey should in every possible
way Offset the work now being done
by the lobby that is SO vigorously
working for division. In the clos
ing days of the Legislature; in the
hurry and hustle Of members to
get pet measures through, a COM
bination can be formed that will
railroad a bill through both houses.
1t is just such an attempt rs this
that the Alturas delegation must
thwart. The divisionists must be
fought at every turn, and any at
tempt to rush a bill through de-
feated. Shot, they succeed in do
ing SO the Al(dras delegation will
find the new county desirable To-
cation as q future abiding place.

EAST FLETCHER.

A very successful festival and oyster
supper was attended at Fletcher UniO1
Church Thursday, Jan. 18th. 1t was
under the auspices of the Universalist
Society, and the 10th annual affair OF
the kind given to the public. Rev. Geo
S. Guernsey opened the exercises by
giving brief history of his passionate
and cordial welcome to those present
after which rhetorical, Grammatical, and
musical exercises were given which
were received by the large audience in a
hearty manner, Master Blair and Misses
Ball and Leach were among the little
ones who displayed talent and good
training under the direction of Mrs. n.
B. Blair. A bOuntiful supper was pro-
vided and not less than three hundred
plates were spread during the evening.
The society has every facility to carry
on such an affair successfully, as they
are well provided with all necessary
utensils for cooking and distributing
supplies rapidly, with good and suffi-
Gent help. We noticed that Woods
Old Dutch Java Coffee was furnished
free by Geo. E. Melvin, Jeffersonville.
The total receipts would not vary far
from $3.50, and must net a handsome

I The fire district meeting held Mon
evening at the engine house was not
! fully attended, owing somewhat to the
bad weather, no doubt, and the meet
ing was adjourned two weeks at Hen
dee and Fisk's office. The feeling
that our fire department facilities are
quite inadequate is growing, and 1T is
hoped that some measures may be
taken for better protection. Now is
the time to take an interest in
the matter. A sharp fire would of
course wake everybody up, but we
ought not to wait for an incentive of
this kind. We have a sharp, thrifty
little village, but the few established
industries we have would hardly en-
able US to rebuild quickly should we
suffer much from fire. Let us take
steps, before it is too late, to pre-
serve what we have.
We saw Collector Brigham coming
down the street yesterday, and there
was something SO strange and unusual
in his appearance that we dropped in
to inquire of an old inhabtant, who
has known Elisha from childhood, as
to the cause of his blood-thirsty APP
pearance- The old veteran tipped
back in his chair and remarked that
he understood it perfectly. He said
that Brigham was naturally a clever
man and always disliked bad jot,
and for this reason whenever he had
any unpleasant work in prospect he
always went on to diet of blood anu
alcohol. We remarked that possibly
he might be printing for the delin-
quent tax payers. The old man
took out his pipe to say that we
were just right. He had heard Eli
sha say recently that the day of grace
had about passed.
Another sad instance of sudden
death, so prevalent here during the
past few months, occurred in the edge
of Elmore some time between Z p. m.
Saturday and noon the next day. The
victim was John Scofield, who lived
alone. At Z o'clock in the evening
Mr.. Thomas and wife, while passing,
called in and found Mr.. Scofield COM
planning of pain in the vicinity of
his heart. He refused to let them stay |
with him, but said he would come up
the next day and let them know how
he was. Not putting in an appear
ance as agreed, they went to his house
about noon Sunday and found him
dead in bed. The Selectmen were |
notified and DR.. Holbrook summoned.
The appearances indicated that he
died sometime during the night while
sleeping, and the fact that he was
troubled with heart disease, together
with his complaining of pain about
,he heart the previous evening, would
Indicate that he died of heart disease.
